Coolest July 4 of Your Life Time!

Regardless of what your usual memory of July 4 is, this year you will enjoy a once-in-a-life-time July 4 experience. In celebration of the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, majestic Tall Ships from all over the world are sailing into the harbors of many seaboard cities such as New York and Boston. To allow people to view this event from up-close, major cruise lines around the country are offering special July 4 week events with dining, harbor tours, and close-up views of the Constitution turnaround. Enjoying a delicious meal while planes hovering above your head, ships sailing within your arms’ reach, and fireworks on the sky would be the perfect way to spend the July 4 holiday.

I know that some of you would rather have hangouts with friends and loved ones, here are some ideas for you:

Hosting/going to a BBQ/bonfire

Going to the beach

Going to a 1812 reenactment

Visit a revolutionary site

Baking some July 4 cakes/ cupcakes

Watching fireworks over the lake (especially good for the lovey-doveys!)

Camping/fishing/picnicking

Watching a July 4 themed movie

Attending local July 4 celebration events

Going on a shopping spree

Or you know what? Some cold beer with buddies could chase away the heat!

Anyhow, no matter what you do, just make sure you have a very special July 4!
